Rare beef roasts can be cooked to what internal temperature?

Which of the following factors increases pressures for cost reductions? a. Meaningful differentiation between products b. Reduce

Finger [1]

Answer:

c. Persistent excess capacity

Explanation:

Cost reduction is a process of reducing expenditure in a planned manner. The process of cost reduction requires continuity of cost analysis. The elements which are not of any use or contribute anything to the factors of the production are eliminated through this process. The elements of cost are examined critically before their elimination.

Wyandotte Chemical Company sells various chemicals to the automobile industry. Wyandotte currently sells 30,000 gallons of polyo

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

a.–7.5% or -0.075

bi.$35,321

bii.$8,271

biii.$27,050

Explanation:

Wyandotte Chemical Company

a.

ED = %ΔQD / %ΔP

–2.0 = 15% / %ΔP. (15% more sales)

%ΔP = 15% / -2.0

%ΔP = –7.5% or -0.075

b.

Using the arc price formula, the new price will be:

%ΔP = P2 – P1/ [(P2+ P1)/2]

–0.075 = (P2– 15.00)/ [(P2+ 15)/2] -0.075P2– 1.125 = 2P2– 30

-2.075P2= -28.875

P2= $13.92

ΔP = $15 –$13.92 = $1.08

Finding new quantity using the arc price formula:

%ΔQ = Q2 – Q1/ [(Q2+ Q1)/2]

0.15 = (Q2– 30,000)/ [(Q2+ 30,000)/2]

Q2= 34,865 gallons (QUANTITY SOLD)

Therefore impact of the price cut on the following are:

i). On Total Revenue:

TR = P · Q

Before cut price: TR1, = 15(30,000) = $450,000

After cut price: TR2= 13.92(34,865)

= $485,321,

Consequently, ΔTR = $35,321 (change in total revenue)

ii). On Total Cost: we first find the FC and VCBefore price cut:

FC1=$90,000

After price cut: FC2= $90,000

VC per unit = $6.00 – 0.60 = $5.40

VC2= $5.40 × 34,865 = $188,271

TC2= FC + VC = 90,000 + 188,271 = $278,271

ΔTC = $8,271 (change in total cost)

iii). On Total Profits (π):

Before price cut: π, = $450,000 – $270,000 = $180,000

After price cut: π2= $485,321 – $278,271 = $207,050

(ΔTR - ΔTC = Δπ: $35,321 - $8,271 = 27,050)

Consider a household consisting of four college friends. The friends have made a commitment to live together for the next five y

noname [10]

Answer:

move
none are tied

Explanation:

See the attached for a spreadsheet of the values given in the problem statement. We have simply added the salary to the value of the preference and subtracted the one-time moving expense.

The right-most column shows the net increase in value of moving to Miami for each of the householders. Bonnie achieves so much more value that her net value outweighs the rather significant hit in value that Donna experiences.

If the vote is by net value to the householders, they must vote to move. There are no householders that have a net zero change in value.

_____

<em>Comment on democracy</em>

A decision based on net value does not account for the rather significant cost to Donna. If the household values mental health and interpersonal relationships, the fact that one member suffers badly from the move should be enough to sway the decision against it.

John's friend just gave him a pair of concert tickets to see his favorite rock group perform this weekend. Each ticket sells for

Len [333]

Answer:

$80 lost for not working

Explanation:

Opportunity cost refers to the sacrificed benefits as a result of preferring on a particular option over another. As people make choices, the forfeit one option in favor of another. Opportunity cost is the missed value of the next best alternative.

For John, he has a choice between working or going to the concert. He has two tickets worth $50. Working would mean her twice her regular income, which is $20 per hour. If he works for four hours, his total earning will be $80. If John chooses to go to the concert, he will miss the opportunity to earn $80. The opportunity cost will be the missed $80 that he would have received from working.
